>>BEIJING - Chopped cardboard, softened with an
>>industrial chemical and flavored with fatty pork and
>>powdered seasoning, is a main ingredient in batches of
>>steamed buns sold in one Beijing neighborhood, state
>>television said.
>>
>>The report, aired late Wednesday on China Central
>>Television, highlights the country's problems with
>>food safety despite government efforts to improve the
>>situation.
>>
>>Countless small, often illegally run operations exist
>>across China and make money cutting corners by using
>>inexpensive ingredients or unsavory substitutes. They
>>are almost impossible to regulate.
>>
>>State TV's undercover investigation features the
>>shirtless, shorts-clad maker of the buns, called
>>baozi, explaining the contents of the product sold in
>>Beijing's sprawling Chaoyang district.
>>
>>Baozi are a common snack in China, with an outer skin
>>made from wheat or rice flour and and a filling of
>> sliced pork. Cooked by steaming in immense bamboo
>>baskets, they are similar to but usually much bigger
>>than the dumplings found on dim sum menus familiar to
>>many Americans.
>>
>>The hidden camera follows the man, whose face is not
>>shown, into a ramshackle building where steamers are
>>filled with the fluffy white buns, traditionally
>>stuffed with minced pork.
>>
>>The surroundings are filthy, with water puddles and
>>piles of old furniture and cardboard on the ground.
>>
>>"What's in the recipe?" the reporter asks. "Six to
>>four," the man says.
>>
>>"You mean 60 percent cardboard? What is the other 40
>>percent?" asks the reporter. "Fatty meat," the man
>>replies.
>>
>>The bun maker and his assistants then give a
>>demonstration on how the product is made.
>>
>>Squares of cardboard picked from the ground are first
>>soaked to a pulp in a plastic basin of caustic soda —
>>a chemical base commonly used in manufacturing paper
>>and soap — then chopped into tiny morsels with a
>>cleaver. Fatty pork and powdered seasoning are stirred
>>in.
>>
>>Soon, steaming servings of the buns appear on the
>>screen. The reporter takes a bite.
>>
>>"This baozi filling is kind of tough. Not much taste,"
>>he says. "Can other people taste the difference?"
>>
>>"Most people can't. It fools the average person," the
>>maker says. "I don't eat them myself."
>>
>>The police eventually showed up and shut down the operation.
